Letter: Trump, his defenders, playing game of distraction

There is an adage among defense lawyers: “When the facts are against you, argue the law. When both the facts and the law are against you, discredit the investigators.”

That’s the game being played by President Donald Trump and his Congressional and media defenders. Distraction is their only hope.

I presume that our justice system will grind on to the truth despite the partisan hysteria. If not, then these “conversations” will have subverted the rule of law in America, and then we can be governed like Russia and Iran.

Meanwhile, have patience and hold to the idea that no one is above the law.
